Does/can the re-director from the old list address alter the reply-to to point to the new list?
Nope, since the "re-director" is only a really simple alias map (similar to /etc/aliases).
Ah, so considerable care is needed in replying to anything, even a new message that might have been re-directed, to avoid continuing to go via the old address.
But only if you intend to not go via the old address, I personally wouldn't mind. Using the old address won't hurt, except that the message may be 5 seconds longer on its way (because it has to go through uvena.de first) but who cares :).
Seriously, I don't think this will cause bigger problems and in the long term usage of the old addresses will just go away. I'm more afraid of tinkering some conditional rewriting of mails nobody remembers in a couple of months and which is often subject to obscure errors.
